Long before the hour of meeting the galleries and corridors leading ' to the Senate were densely thronged by an immense audience, eager to hear the speech of the Senator from Massachusetts, who had been announced to address the' Sen ate on the Santo Domingo question. '.The diplomatic and ladies' gallsriss wer almost entirely monopolised by th. fair sex. At 12 o'clock the spectacle was one of the most animating erer witnessed in the Senate Chamber. Mr. Sumner's ap pearance on the floor was welcomed by the galleries with applause. ' V Upon tne conclusion ot me reaaiog 01 the journal, Mr. Sumner took the floor and asked for the reading of the resolutions recently submitted by him and already published, against the use of United States naval forces to npbold Baes ia an attempt to sell his country, in violation ot its uonscuanon ana threatening the integrity and existence of the friendly power of HaytL He then submitted and had read by the Secretary an additional resolution, as follows : Resolved, That whatever may be the title to territory under an unratified treaty, it is positive that after the failure of a treaty in the Senate, all pretext of title ceased, so that our uovernmenc is in all respects a stranger to the territory, and ia without excuse or apology for any interference against the enemies, foreign or domestic; and therefore any belligerent intervention or act of war on the coast of the Island of San Domingo,1 after the failure of the Dominican treaty in the Senate, ia unauthorized violenoe, utterly witnoat aapport in Uw reason. and proceeding directly irom tnM singly prerogativ which is disowned by the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Fenton called attention to the fact that in the pressure to gain admittance to the galleries, hundreds of ladies had been excluded. He therefore moved that the cloak-rooms and corridors in the rear of the Senate Cham be b opaaad tot their accommodation- There being no objec tion, the Sergesat-at-Arai was directed to carry out the motion aa the order of the Senate. . t Mr. Thurmsn hoped tha Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Sumner, would not be interrupted at tne expiration ol tne morning hour, hut would be allowed to proceed regularly. It was so ordered. Mr. Sumner then arose and addressed the Senate at length, speaking from the seat of his colleague, Mr. Wilson. . Mr,. Sumner-tn his opening asserted that , it is - now in . evidence be fore the Senate, that - the navy of the United States,- under orders from Washington, - has been engaged in .measures .of ..violence and belligerent intervention, being war without the authority of Congress The whole business, he adds, is aggravated, when it is considered thst the declared obieet of this violence is the acquisition os jureiftu terrmury, veiug u.u u ibi.uu in the Carribbean Sea, and still further, that this violenoe has been - employed e r . : . v. v-ir ;1 A first to prop aad maintain a weak ruler, himself aa usurper, and upholding him in Dower that he might sell hia country, and secondly it has been employed to menace the black Republic ot rtaytt Such a case. Mr. Sumner continues, is too grave for silence. For the sake of the navy, the Administration, Republican institutions, and for tha sake of the Republican party, which cannot afford to become responsible for such conduct, the ease must not pass without inquiry. But bevond all these considerations is tue commanding rule of justice. The ques tion is no; whetner tne acquisition 01 san Domingo is desirable, but whether we are justified in tne means empioyea to accomplish this acquisition, and the videnoa now before us shows too clearly that means have been employed whtea cannot be justified. - : He had supposed that the proceedings regarding the treaty for annexation were blameless until, wnile it was penning De- fore the Senate, the Assistant Secretary of 8 late brought him a number of dis patches, among which was one from our consular agent there, who eigne 1 the treaty of annexation, from which it dis tinctlv appeared that JJaex, : while en gaged in selling his country, was main tained in power oy tne navy oi tne United States. Other evidenoe has accu mulated to show that we were engaged in forcing upon a weak people the sacrifice of their country. The State Depart ment and the Navy Department eaon contained a record of disgraceful, into! erable and deplorable proceedings. Unless these reports of the State and Navy Departments are discredited, it is obvieos beyond doubt that our Government has seized the war powersysarefully guarded by the Constitution,and without the authority of Congress, has employed them to trample on the independence and equal rights of two nations co-eqnal with ours. The Senator then character izes Baez and Grant as copartners in the melancholy affair, and carefully- reviews tha history of the former and his unscrupulous usurpation, recites the origin of the scheme for annexing half the island which is generally known, con cluding with the exclamation of the Duke of Wellington that " there can be no such thing, mv Lords, as a little war." The Senator asserted that there may be war without a battle, and so our navy has thua far conquered without a1 shot. but its presence in Hayti and Dominica was war. He then minutely reviewed the teetimonv to this effect, famished by the 8tate and Navy Departments, from which it appears that the very agent who signed the treaties, officially reported that the usurper was maintained in power by our guns. Bat intervention in Dominica is : only one part of the story, even according to the reluotant confession of the Navy Department. In its effort to secure the, taucit, coveted territory onr Government, not content with maintaining the . usurper Baez in power, and occupying the harbor of Dominica with warship, sent other war ships, being none other than our powerful monitor Dictator, with the frigat Severn as a consort, and with yet other monitors ia their train, to menace the black Republic ef Hayti by an act of war. An American admiral was found to do this thing, and aa American minister, himself of African blood, Was found -td aid the admiral. The dispatch of the Secretary f Stat instituting this act of war was net communicated to the Senate, but We are sufficiently enlightened by that of our Minister at Port-au-Prince, who, nnder date of 17th of February, 1870. informs th Stat. Department, in Washington, ho had transmitted to the Haytien Goy-; arnment the notification that the United I State asked and expected it to observe strict neutrality in reference to the internal affairs of. San Domingo. .This as-. anle o6d tht indeBfiBQented-Oi of th black Republic, Mr. Sumner ad amears more fully in tne report ot Navy Department, whioh is an authentic record of acts flagrant and indefensiblB. Mr. Sumner proceeds to show that this conduct is a gross violation of interna-J tional law and of tne constitution ot tae United States, and every employment of those wsr powers in pursuanoe of this assumption was usurpation, and that the assumption in the San Domingo treaty i exceptional and - abnormal, being absolutely without precedent. But, continued Mr. Sumner, even admitting a remote semblance of excuse or apology during the pendency of the treaty. All of which I insist is absurd beyond question, though not entirely impossible in a quarter unused to Constitutional questions and heeding them little. Conceding that the assumpsit inserted in the treaty by the Secretary of State had deceived the President into -the idea that he possessed the kingly prerogative of declaring war at his own mere motion, and wishing to deal most gently even with an undoubted usurpation : of kingly prerogative, so long as the Secretary of State, the a wer a counsellor of the President, supplies the formula for usurpation and you will bear witness that I have done nothing bat state the cas it is hard to hold back when the same usurpation is openly prolonged after the Senate had rejected the treaty on which the exercise of kingly prerogative was founded, and when the assumpsit, devised by a Secretary of State, had passed into the lumber of things lost on earth. Here there ia no remote, infinitesimal excuse or apology. Nothing absolutely nothing. The usurpation pivots on a nonentity, always excepting the kingly .will of the President, which constitutionally is a nonentity. The great artist of Bologna, in a much admired statue, sculptures Mercury as standing on a puff of air. The President has not even a puff of air to stand on. Mr. Sumner concluded : la the evidence adduced I have confined myself carefully to publio documents. On this unanswerable aad cumulative testimony, where each part confirms the rest, and the whole has the harmony of truth, I pre sent this transgression. And here it is not I who apeak, but tne testimony. Here stands the case : International law has been violated in two of its command ing rules one securing the equality of nations, and the other providing against belligerent intervention ; while a distinctive, fundamental principle of the Constitution, by whioh the President is deprived of the kinglv prerogative, is dtsreffardtd, 'am? -thi& wary kingly prerogative ia asserted by the President. This is the simplest statement. I tll' Looking still further into the facts, we see that all this great disobedience, has for its object the acquisition of aa put-lying tropical island, with a large promise of wealth, and that in carrying oat this scheme our Republic has forcibly maintained a usurper in power that he might sell his country, and has dealt a blow at the independence of the black Republic of Hayti, which being a wrong to that Republic, was an insult to the African race ; and all this has been don by prerogative alone, withont authority of an act of Congress. If such a transaction, so many-headed in wrong, can escape judgment, it is difficult to see what securities remain what other' sacred rales of international law may be violated what other foreign nation may not be struck at what other belligerent menace aay-aot oe Hurled waafc ctaer kingly prerogative may not be seized. Aever before has there been eooh a Presidential intervention in the Senate as we have been constrained to Witness. The President's visits to tha eapitol, with appeals to senators, nave been followed by assemblies at the Executive Mansion, also with appeals to Senators, and who can measure the pressure of all kinds by himself or agents, especially through the appointing power, all to secure the consumption of this scheme T Thus 'do we discern in the acts of the President, whether on the coast of San Do- uingo, or here at Washington, the same determination, with the same disregard of great principles, as also the same recklessness - towards the people of Hayti who have never injured us.' In view of these things the first subjeqt of inquiry is not of the soil.climate.produe tivenessand the possibilities ot annexation, bnt the exceptional and abnormal proceedings of our own government. Before considering the treaty, or - any question of acquisition, we must at least put ourselves right as a nation. Nor do see how this can be done without re tracing our steps, and consenting to act in subordination to international law and the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, on the question of the acquisition, L say nothing to-day, only alluding to some questions involved. The question whether we wilt assume the bloody hazards involved In this busi ness, as it has been pursued, with alter nate expenditure - tor war ships : and troops, causing more painful anxieties, while the land of Toussaint L'Ouverture listens to the constant whi soer of inde pendence, and there is still that other question of debts and obligation, ac knowledged and unacknowledged, with an immense claim oy nayti, and an unsettled boundary, which I have already called a bloody lawhmit these consider ations 1 state only. Meanwhile, to my mind, there is something better than bet ligerent intervention and acts of war with the menace and absorption at un told cost of treasure. It is a sincere and humane effort on onr part in the spirit of peace to reconcile Hayti and Dominica, and establish tranquillity throughout the island. Let this be attempted and our Repnblio will become an example worthy its name ana the civiliza tion which it represents, whileRepublican- institution will have new glory. The blessings of good men would attend such an effort, nor would the smile of heaven be wanting : ' and may we not justly expect the President to unite in such a measure or peace and good wiu r " tie that ruleth his spirit is greater than he that taketh a city," and so the fresi dent, ruling his spirit in subjection to the humane principles of international law and the Constitution of his country will be greater than if be had taken all the islands of the sea. After speaking three and a quarter hours Mr. Sumner, at 3:30 o'clock, con cluded. Mr. Morton said he did not propose to reply to Mr. Sumner at this time, and would reqoirs time and preparation. He thought the Senator from Massachusetts should have deferred his speech until the San Domingo report was made. While he did not know anything of its character, he (Morton) felt confident many charge against the rrenaent. and large part of the Senator' speech, would be answered by mat report.

K4TNDBR SCHEME OV ALABAMA CARPBT-', ' - BAGGERS-4, . , " A .carious circumstance has been broagtat to light, which, it is understood, will be made a subject of Congressional invsstigaawa. t It appears the State of Alabama is -entitled to several thousand acres of agriooUural land scrip, nnder the acts of . Congress; that W. W. Smith; late Governor of . tiat State, visited Washington about a year ago for the purpose of caning the issafl ot said scrip; the Commissioner of the General Land Office directed; the scrip to be made out, bat froai asms -mysterious reason it was never issued. ' Some few weeks ago Governor. Lindsay,- of Alabama, received a commanicatisnlrom a gentleman in Ohio, charging th xiateooe of a conspiracy for the - withholding of this serip, by 'which Alabama five per cent, bonds wre .to. be" depreciated in Wall street to sixty cents on the dollar, then bought up by interested parties, and nnder a State law exchanged at par rates for this scrip. As a consequence, an examination in the matter was had under the auspieesof Governor Lindsay, I said to have been discovered in the Land Office, all made!out,at indorsed on the envolope as withheld by direction of Senator Warner. The writer of the warning letter, from Ohio charged thatEx-Governor Smith and Senator Warner were interested in this stock-jobbing conspiracy. It is said Ex-Commissioner Wilson knows all about the affair, and will, no doubt, make some curious tevoiaHians of this ans. other land lobs. CONFERetKG DICTATORIAL POWKRS CF0JT GRANT. ' The Republican members of the Honse Speoial Committee on the President's message have unanimously agreed that some legislation for the suppression of lawlessness ia the South is imperative. It is, therefore, proposed to report a bill to-day or to-morrow, and the Committee appointed Mr. Shellabargar to prepare a draft of one for onsidartion at their meeting to-day. This bill, which is already completed, will be simple and at tile same time comprehensive, and will be sounded principally on existing laws, presiding for their application to the present contingencies. The third and last section, which is the most important feature of the - biU, provides that when dosaestio violence and disorders shall exist ia any State, which shall be caused by armed and oganized bands combined to commit each sets, too strong to be suppressed by tis State authorities, or where each authorities, by reason of being in complicity r sysmpathy with such organized bandslo not repress soon disorders, then the Pnas-ident .shalL without waiting to be called apon by the Governor or Legislatore f smca state, issue his proclamation oraer-ing the disbandisg of such armed and organized bands; and he shall have power and it shall be his duty to use the army and navy of the United States to suppress such disorders and arrest the organized bands causing them. It provides, also, that in pursuance of such duty he may declare the ditaffectrtiittriet ia iiusrrecrioa. proclaim martial late, stipend the .writ of ncseat corps tMrtn, ana proceed .to tne suppression of violence end Asjjunieb--mest of offending persons. This section also embraces the pro vision embodied in the Shellabarger bill, that when offenses punishable nnder this act are begun in one United States Judicial District and completed in another, very suoh offense shall be regarded as committed in either district! and may be inquired into, tried, and dealt with the same a if wholly eassmitted in said district.

It is Tumored that the United States ship Ticonderoga, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, third - rate seven-gun sloop, now the flag-ship of Port Admiral Stringham, has been ordered to adjust her compass with extraordinary care, and at once prepare for a special and important mission. A few weeks ago she was commissioned and was sent to this port to relieve the United States ship Narraganssett, which latter vessel has recently sailed for San Francisco direct. Many naval officers are of opinion that we are on the eve of some important movement in naval mat-tters. The United States steamship Shaw-mut will go to sea en her official trial trip Wednesday morning. AN IMPORTANT ERIK SUIT. In the Supreme Court to-day Judge Barnard dismissed without costs the suit of the Erie Railway against Van-derbilt for one million of dollars, involving the charge of frauds in settling suits against the Erie Company. In the Judge's opinion the case depended on two questions, as to whether there was frauii, and as to the power of the Company to effect a compromise. The Judge conclude there was no fraud, aad decides that the majority of directors voting for a settlement was legal and proper. A MINISTERIAL UKASE.

To the Ohio Statesman t : . , The communication from '' Observer," In the Sunday Kerne, was prefaced by some very correct statements, but, like 'the " story of the red shirt," was followed by the most' nnfounded and false insinuations, with the view of having the whole taken as gospel truth. ' It is well understood, , however, r that , the .article, was written for electioneering purposes,- in order to damage the prospects and defeat the Democratic ticket at the coming election. To do this a oity officer was assailed, and " mistakes ' and blunders charged that never existed ; and the old re-hash of the South End sewers was unearthed, and every wrong and all delay were charged to the & ' Engineer. vv netaer - me sewers located or not has nothir , question, for. it is-v.el'.'-Committee of the Com t Drainage determined ti V diclously with the that'.tbe s-ers and l the Epgi- neer had no voice iu the '-.. tier. When the work was commenced, it then became the duty of the Engineer to give the line and grade of the sewer. The work was then taken charge of by a superintendent (appointed by the Committee on Sewers and Drainage), whose duty it was to see that the work was properly constructed tne engineer only giving the work occasional attention to see that his grades are properly kept, as he may have time from other work. .. When a sewer is finished, the Superintendent reports to the Engineer and Committee, and upon such report the work is accepted. The certificates of acceptance are signed by the Engineer and Commit tee on bewers. These are facts that are susoeptible of proof by the records ; and no one but a dumb ass would think of making the Engineer responsible for every error that may occur, even beyond his .control. It is also believed to he a fact that the reports of the Committee have corrsborated the reports of the Engineer in reference to said work in every par- -Y . n ucuiac - . The blunders on street grades exist only in the narrow and jealous mind of the " Observer," for it is very well known that no grade is established or changed (about which there is any dispute) without being referred to the Committee on Streets, or the Trustees of the ward in which the street is located ; and the Engineer has never been known to arbitrarily .establish or change a grade with out tne co-operation ot the committee, and it has never been shown that the Engineer has made any mistakes iu this respect. The levee on the west side of the river was also referred to as a want of skill. This levee is a long line of embankment, to build which as it might and should be done would cost not less than twenty thousand dollars. Last year it was determined to repair the levee at a cost of about three thousand dollars. When the contract for the work was let, it was put in charge of the Committee on Streets and Alleys, with epeeial instructions not to exceed in ex penditure the amount indicated by the Council. : Surround an engineer with such restrictions, and no one but a fool would think of building such a work with one-seventh the cost. - The assertion that the Engineer de ceived members of the Council, and put them in a wrong light to their constitu ents, is the most wicked and damning falsehood of all. Tha members of the Council can speak for themselves, and it is safe to say that not one member in that body will take the responsibility of saying that the Engineer ever made false statements or misrepresented anything to the Council in the line of his duty. '' The idea of the Engineer (because elected by the people) setting at defiance the authority of the Council and laughing at the members of that body with im punity, is too ridiculous and absurd to need any comments whatever. ' . The article in the Netce was evidently written by a disappointed aspirant for the office, whose reputation, both in engineering and politics, is such that it would damn any party with which he was connected. Tha present Engineer is an old citizen, well known as a man of ability and judg ment and uncompromising integrity, and is;pqt Ukj!y to be damaged by such vile assertions. Bulo. A REMARKABLE STRANGER. Beins m Sanawica ! Bensiai. ia. ace. By jIIarF I had barely finiaUe-ment when the Strang- - .pie state i.. )ther cor- ner of the room spoke with rapid ut- teranoe and feverish anxi. ;ty:. "Oh, that was certainly remarkable. after a fashion, but . you ought to have seen my chimney you ought to have seen my chimney, sir! Smoke! Humph! I wish I may hang if Mr; Jones, yon re member that chimney you muet remember that chimney! No, no I recollect, now, you warn't living on this side of the island then.

You may smile, gentlemen, bnt the High Sheriff's got a hunk ot it wnicn QUg out ueiure u eyes, and so it's perfectly easy for yon to go and examine for yourselves.' The interruption broke up the conver sation, which had already begun to lag. and we presently hired some natives aud an out-rigger canoe or two, ana went ont in the roaring snrf to watch the chil dren at their sport of riding out to sea perched on tne crest oi a gigamiu wave. Two weeks after this, while talking in a company, I looked np and detected this same man boring tnrougu ana luruugu me with his intense eye, and noted again hi. twitehin? muscles and his feverish anxiety to speak. The moment I paused he said : "Beg yonr pardon, sir ; beg your pardon : bnt it can only be considered re markable when brought into strong outline by isolation. Sir, contrasted with a nirenmstance which occurred in my own experience, it instantly becomes commonplace : no, not that for will not sneak so discourteously ot any experience in the career of stranger and a gentleman but 1 am obliged to sav-that you could not, aud you would not ever again refer to this tree as a large one, if you could behold, as I have, the great Yakmatack tree, in the island of Ounaska, sea of Kamtchatka a tree, sir, not one inch less than four hundred and fifteen feet in solid diameter! and I wish I may die in a minute if it isn't so I Oh, you needn't look so questioning, gen tlemen : here s old Cap. baltmarsh can say whether I know what I'm talking about or not.

For a week or two I stayed mostly within doors, for I seemed to meet this person everywhere, and he had become utterly hateful to me., .

John James Uodtrey was the son of poor bnt honest parents in the State of Mississippi boyhood friend of mine bosom comrade in later years. Heaven rest his noble spirit! he is gone from us now. John James Uodfrey was hired by the Hayblossom Mining Company in Cal ifornia to do some blasting lor tnem- the ' Incorporated Company of Mean Men,' the boys used to call it. Well; one day he drilled a hole about four feet deep and put in an awful blast of powder, and was stanaing over it ramming it uown with an iron crowbar about nine feet . . . . . , long, when the cussed thing struck 1 soars: and Urea the powder, ana scat away John Godfrey whizzed liked a sky rocket and his crowbar! Well, sir, be kept going up in the air higher and higher, till he didn't I00K any bigger than a boy and be kept going on np higher and higher, till he didn't look any bigerer than a doll and he kept going on up higher and higher, tui ne aiun 1 loox any bigger than a licue, smau pee and then he went ont ot sight! rresentiy he came in sight again, looking like little small bee and he came along down further and further, till he looked as big as a doll again and down further and further, till he was as big as a boy again and further and further, tulhe was a lull- sized man once more; and him and his crowbar came a whizzing down and lit ricrht exactly in the name old tracks, and went to r-ramming down, and r-ramming down, and r-ramming down again, lust the same as 11 nothing naa nappeneai Now don't you know that that poor cuss warn't gone only sixteen minutes, and yet that Incorporated Company of Mean Men docked him !' v: lost time; I said I had the headache, and so ex cused myself and went homo. And on mv diarv I entered ''another night spoil ed'' by this offensive loafer. And a fervent curse was set down with it to keep the item company. And the very nex day I packed up, out of all patience, and left the islands. Almost from the very beginning, I re garded that man as a liar. The line of stars represeents an interval of years. At the end of which time the opinion hazarded in the last sentence came to be gratfyingly and remarkably indorsed, and by wholly disinterested persons. The man Markiss was found one morning hanging to a beam of his own bedroom (the doors and window securely fastened on the Inside), dead, and on his breast was pinned a paper in his own handwriting, begging his mends to snsoectno innocent person of having any thing to do with his death, tor that it was . a.. . a l -v- the work 01 ills own nanus entirely. ii the jury brought in the astounding verdict that deceased came to his death " bv the hands of some person or per sons unknown !" They explained that the perfectly nude via ting consistency of Markiss's character for thirty years towered aloft as colossal and indestructible testimony, that whatever statement he choose to make was entitled to instant and nnanestioning acceptance as a lie, And they furthermore stated their belief that he was not dead, and instanced the strong circumstantial e ridence of his own word that he was dead and be-seeched the coroner to delay the funeral as long as possible, which was done. And so in the tropical climate of La- haina the coffin stood open lor several davs. and then even the loyal iury gave him np. But they sat on him again, and changed their verdict to "suicide induced by mental aberration" because, said they, with penetration, " he said he was dead, and he vat dead, and would he nave told the truth if he had been in hiB right mind t Xo, sir." Fifteen young ladies took the vail in St. Louis last week. Of the ceremony an account says: "The fifteen novices, who desired to assume the habit, appeared before the altar dressed in white, each wearing a wreath of orange blossoms, from which descended delicate lines of stems and leaves. Their appearance was exceedingly interesting.. In the placid fair young faces there was hardly a trace to be detected of girlish embarrassment at being subjected to the gaze of the audience. The religious sacredness of the occasion to them doubtiess almost absorbed every other thought.". DIED. ' SHERMATT On March 7th, 1871, Wiliiam Levi, son of S. M. and L. A. Sherman, aged three years.

The Presideat'8 War Against tin Eaytien Republic. t An ExposTtre of 'the Dark Ways of the Radical Administration. Long before the hour of meeting the galleries and corridors leading ' to the Senate were densely thronged by an immense audience, eager to hear the speech of the Senator from Massachusetts, who had been announced to address the' Sen ate on the Santo Domingo question. '.The diplomatic and ladies' gallsriss wer almost entirely monopolised by th. fair sex. At 12 o'clock the spectacle was one of the most animating erer witnessed in the Senate Chamber. Mr. Sumner's ap pearance on the floor was welcomed by the galleries with applause. ' V Upon tne conclusion ot me reaaiog 01 the journal, Mr. Sumner took the floor and asked for the reading of the resolutions recently submitted by him and already published, against the use of United States naval forces to npbold Baes ia an attempt to sell his country, in violation ot its uonscuanon ana threatening the integrity and existence of the friendly power of HaytL He then submitted and had read by the Secretary an additional resolution, as follows : Resolved, That whatever may be the title to territory under an unratified treaty, it is positive that after the failure of a treaty in the Senate, all pretext of title ceased, so that our uovernmenc is in all respects a stranger to the territory, and ia without excuse or apology for any interference against the enemies, foreign or domestic; and therefore any belligerent intervention or act of war on the coast of the Island of San Domingo,1 after the failure of the Dominican treaty in the Senate, ia unauthorized violenoe, utterly witnoat aapport in Uw reason. and proceeding directly irom tnM singly prerogativ which is disowned by the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Fenton called attention to the fact that in the pressure to gain admittance to the galleries, hundreds of ladies had been excluded. He therefore moved that the cloak-rooms and corridors in the rear of the Senate Cham be b opaaad tot their accommodation- There being no objec tion, the Sergesat-at-Arai was directed to carry out the motion aa the order of the Senate. . t Mr. Thurmsn hoped tha Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Sumner, would not be interrupted at tne expiration ol tne morning hour, hut would be allowed to proceed regularly. It was so ordered. Mr. Sumner then arose and addressed the Senate at length, speaking from the seat of his colleague, Mr. Wilson. . Mr,. Sumner-tn his opening asserted that , it is - now in . evidence be fore the Senate, that - the navy of the United States,- under orders from Washington, - has been engaged in .measures .of ..violence and belligerent intervention, being war without the authority of Congress The whole business, he adds, is aggravated, when it is considered thst the declared obieet of this violence is the acquisition os jureiftu terrmury, veiug u.u u ibi.uu in the Carribbean Sea, and still further, that this violenoe has been - employed e r . : . v. v-ir ;1 A first to prop aad maintain a weak ruler, himself aa usurper, and upholding him in Dower that he might sell hia country, and secondly it has been employed to menace the black Republic ot rtaytt Such a case. Mr. Sumner continues, is too grave for silence. For the sake of the navy, the Administration, Republican institutions, and for tha sake of the Republican party, which cannot afford to become responsible for such conduct, the ease must not pass without inquiry. But bevond all these considerations is tue commanding rule of justice. The ques tion is no; whetner tne acquisition 01 san Domingo is desirable, but whether we are justified in tne means empioyea to accomplish this acquisition, and the videnoa now before us shows too clearly that means have been employed whtea cannot be justified. - : He had supposed that the proceedings regarding the treaty for annexation were blameless until, wnile it was penning De- fore the Senate, the Assistant Secretary of 8 late brought him a number of dis patches, among which was one from our consular agent there, who eigne 1 the treaty of annexation, from which it dis tinctlv appeared that JJaex, : while en gaged in selling his country, was main tained in power oy tne navy oi tne United States. Other evidenoe has accu mulated to show that we were engaged in forcing upon a weak people the sacrifice of their country. The State Depart ment and the Navy Department eaon contained a record of disgraceful, into! erable and deplorable proceedings. Unless these reports of the State and Navy Departments are discredited, it is obvieos beyond doubt that our Government has seized the war powersysarefully guarded by the Constitution,and without the authority of Congress, has employed them to trample on the independence and equal rights of two nations co-eqnal with ours. The Senator then character izes Baez and Grant as copartners in the melancholy affair, and carefully- reviews tha history of the former and his unscrupulous usurpation, recites the origin of the scheme for annexing half the island which is generally known, con cluding with the exclamation of the Duke of Wellington that " there can be no such thing, mv Lords, as a little war." The Senator asserted that there may be war without a battle, and so our navy has thua far conquered without a1 shot. but its presence in Hayti and Dominica was war. He then minutely reviewed the teetimonv to this effect, famished by the 8tate and Navy Departments, from which it appears that the very agent who signed the treaties, officially reported that the usurper was maintained in power by our guns. Bat intervention in Dominica is : only one part of the story, even according to the reluotant confession of the Navy Department. In its effort to secure the, taucit, coveted territory onr Government, not content with maintaining the . usurper Baez in power, and occupying the harbor of Dominica with warship, sent other war ships, being none other than our powerful monitor Dictator, with the frigat Severn as a consort, and with yet other monitors ia their train, to menace the black Republic ef Hayti by an act of war. An American admiral was found to do this thing, and aa American minister, himself of African blood, Was found -td aid the admiral. The dispatch of the Secretary f Stat instituting this act of war was net communicated to the Senate, but We are sufficiently enlightened by that of our Minister at Port-au-Prince, who, nnder date of 17th of February, 1870. informs th Stat. Department, in Washington, ho had transmitted to the Haytien Goy-; arnment the notification that the United I State asked and expected it to observe strict neutrality in reference to the internal affairs of. San Domingo. .This as-. anle o6d tht indeBfiBQented-Oi of th black Republic, Mr. Sumner ad amears more fully in tne report ot Navy Department, whioh is an authentic record of acts flagrant and indefensiblB. Mr. Sumner proceeds to show that this conduct is a gross violation of interna-J tional law and of tne constitution ot tae United States, and every employment of those wsr powers in pursuanoe of this assumption was usurpation, and that the assumption in the San Domingo treaty i exceptional and - abnormal, being absolutely without precedent. But, continued Mr. Sumner, even admitting a remote semblance of excuse or apology during the pendency of the treaty. All of which I insist is absurd beyond question, though not entirely impossible in a quarter unused to Constitutional questions and heeding them little. Conceding that the assumpsit inserted in the treaty by the Secretary of State had deceived the President into -the idea that he possessed the kingly prerogative of declaring war at his own mere motion, and wishing to deal most gently even with an undoubted usurpation : of kingly prerogative, so long as the Secretary of State, the a wer a counsellor of the President, supplies the formula for usurpation and you will bear witness that I have done nothing bat state the cas it is hard to hold back when the same usurpation is openly prolonged after the Senate had rejected the treaty on which the exercise of kingly prerogative was founded, and when the assumpsit, devised by a Secretary of State, had passed into the lumber of things lost on earth. Here there ia no remote, infinitesimal excuse or apology. Nothing absolutely nothing. The usurpation pivots on a nonentity, always excepting the kingly .will of the President, which constitutionally is a nonentity. The great artist of Bologna, in a much admired statue, sculptures Mercury as standing on a puff of air. The President has not even a puff of air to stand on. Mr. Sumner concluded : la the evidence adduced I have confined myself carefully to publio documents. On this unanswerable aad cumulative testimony, where each part confirms the rest, and the whole has the harmony of truth, I pre sent this transgression. And here it is not I who apeak, but tne testimony. Here stands the case : International law has been violated in two of its command ing rules one securing the equality of nations, and the other providing against belligerent intervention ; while a distinctive, fundamental principle of the Constitution, by whioh the President is deprived of the kinglv prerogative, is dtsreffardtd, 'am? -thi& wary kingly prerogative ia asserted by the President. This is the simplest statement. I tll' Looking still further into the facts, we see that all this great disobedience, has for its object the acquisition of aa put-lying tropical island, with a large promise of wealth, and that in carrying oat this scheme our Republic has forcibly maintained a usurper in power that he might sell his country, and has dealt a blow at the independence of the black Republic of Hayti, which being a wrong to that Republic, was an insult to the African race ; and all this has been don by prerogative alone, withont authority of an act of Congress. If such a transaction, so many-headed in wrong, can escape judgment, it is difficult to see what securities remain what other' sacred rales of international law may be violated what other foreign nation may not be struck at what other belligerent menace aay-aot oe Hurled waafc ctaer kingly prerogative may not be seized. Aever before has there been eooh a Presidential intervention in the Senate as we have been constrained to Witness. The President's visits to tha eapitol, with appeals to senators, nave been followed by assemblies at the Executive Mansion, also with appeals to Senators, and who can measure the pressure of all kinds by himself or agents, especially through the appointing power, all to secure the consumption of this scheme T Thus 'do we discern in the acts of the President, whether on the coast of San Do- uingo, or here at Washington, the same determination, with the same disregard of great principles, as also the same recklessness - towards the people of Hayti who have never injured us.' In view of these things the first subjeqt of inquiry is not of the soil.climate.produe tivenessand the possibilities ot annexation, bnt the exceptional and abnormal proceedings of our own government. Before considering the treaty, or - any question of acquisition, we must at least put ourselves right as a nation. Nor do see how this can be done without re tracing our steps, and consenting to act in subordination to international law and the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, on the question of the acquisition, L say nothing to-day, only alluding to some questions involved. The question whether we wilt assume the bloody hazards involved In this busi ness, as it has been pursued, with alter nate expenditure - tor war ships : and troops, causing more painful anxieties, while the land of Toussaint L'Ouverture listens to the constant whi soer of inde pendence, and there is still that other question of debts and obligation, ac knowledged and unacknowledged, with an immense claim oy nayti, and an unsettled boundary, which I have already called a bloody lawhmit these consider ations 1 state only. Meanwhile, to my mind, there is something better than bet ligerent intervention and acts of war with the menace and absorption at un told cost of treasure. It is a sincere and humane effort on onr part in the spirit of peace to reconcile Hayti and Dominica, and establish tranquillity throughout the island. Let this be attempted and our Repnblio will become an example worthy its name ana the civiliza tion which it represents, whileRepublican- institution will have new glory. The blessings of good men would attend such an effort, nor would the smile of heaven be wanting : ' and may we not justly expect the President to unite in such a measure or peace and good wiu r " tie that ruleth his spirit is greater than he that taketh a city," and so the fresi dent, ruling his spirit in subjection to the humane principles of international law and the Constitution of his country will be greater than if be had taken all the islands of the sea. After speaking three and a quarter hours Mr. Sumner, at 3:30 o'clock, con cluded. Mr. Morton said he did not propose to reply to Mr. Sumner at this time, and would reqoirs time and preparation. He thought the Senator from Massachusetts should have deferred his speech until the San Domingo report was made. While he did not know anything of its character, he (Morton) felt confident many charge against the rrenaent. and large part of the Senator' speech, would be answered by mat report.

Congress; that W. W.

As a consequence, an examination in the matter was had under the auspieesof Governor Lindsay, I said to have been discovered in the Land Office, all made!out,at indorsed on the envolope as withheld by direction of Senator Warner.

' The Republican members of the Honse Speoial Committee on the President's message have unanimously agreed that some legislation for the suppression of lawlessness ia the South is imperative. It is, therefore, proposed to report a bill to-day or to-morrow, and the Committee appointed Mr. Shellabargar to prepare a draft of one for onsidartion at their meeting to-day. This bill, which is already completed, will be simple and at tile same time comprehensive, and will be sounded principally on existing laws, presiding for their application to the present contingencies. The third and last section, which is the most important feature of the - biU, provides that when dosaestio violence and disorders shall exist ia any State, which shall be caused by armed and oganized bands combined to commit each sets, too strong to be suppressed by tis State authorities, or where each authorities, by reason of being in complicity r sysmpathy with such organized bandslo not repress soon disorders, then the Pnas-ident .shalL without waiting to be called apon by the Governor or Legislatore f smca state, issue his proclamation oraer-ing the disbandisg of such armed and organized bands; and he shall have power and it shall be his duty to use the army and navy of the United States to suppress such disorders and arrest the organized bands causing them. It provides, also, that in pursuance of such duty he may declare the ditaffectrtiittriet ia iiusrrecrioa. proclaim martial late, stipend the .writ of ncseat corps tMrtn, ana proceed .to tne suppression of violence end Asjjunieb--mest of offending persons.

To the Ohio Statesman t : . , The communication from '' Observer," In the Sunday Kerne, was prefaced by some very correct statements, but, like 'the " story of the red shirt," was followed by the most' nnfounded and false insinuations, with the view of having the whole taken as gospel truth. ' It is well understood, , however, r that , the .article, was written for electioneering purposes,- in order to damage the prospects and defeat the Democratic ticket at the coming election. To do this a oity officer was assailed, and " mistakes ' and blunders charged that never existed ; and the old re-hash of the South End sewers was unearthed, and every wrong and all delay were charged to the & ' Engineer. vv netaer - me sewers located or not has nothir , question, for. it is-v.el'.'-Committee of the Com t Drainage determined ti V diclously with the that'.tbe s-ers and l the Epgi- neer had no voice iu the '-.. tier. When the work was commenced, it then became the duty of the Engineer to give the line and grade of the sewer. The work was then taken charge of by a superintendent (appointed by the Committee on Sewers and Drainage), whose duty it was to see that the work was properly constructed tne engineer only giving the work occasional attention to see that his grades are properly kept, as he may have time from other work. .. When a sewer is finished, the Superintendent reports to the Engineer and Committee, and upon such report the work is accepted. The certificates of acceptance are signed by the Engineer and Commit tee on bewers. These are facts that are susoeptible of proof by the records ; and no one but a dumb ass would think of making the Engineer responsible for every error that may occur, even beyond his .control. It is also believed to he a fact that the reports of the Committee have corrsborated the reports of the Engineer in reference to said work in every par- -Y . n ucuiac - . The blunders on street grades exist only in the narrow and jealous mind of the " Observer," for it is very well known that no grade is established or changed (about which there is any dispute) without being referred to the Committee on Streets, or the Trustees of the ward in which the street is located ; and the Engineer has never been known to arbitrarily .establish or change a grade with out tne co-operation ot the committee, and it has never been shown that the Engineer has made any mistakes iu this respect. The levee on the west side of the river was also referred to as a want of skill. This levee is a long line of embankment, to build which as it might and should be done would cost not less than twenty thousand dollars. Last year it was determined to repair the levee at a cost of about three thousand dollars. When the contract for the work was let, it was put in charge of the Committee on Streets and Alleys, with epeeial instructions not to exceed in ex penditure the amount indicated by the Council. : Surround an engineer with such restrictions, and no one but a fool would think of building such a work with one-seventh the cost. - The assertion that the Engineer de ceived members of the Council, and put them in a wrong light to their constitu ents, is the most wicked and damning falsehood of all. Tha members of the Council can speak for themselves, and it is safe to say that not one member in that body will take the responsibility of saying that the Engineer ever made false statements or misrepresented anything to the Council in the line of his duty. '' The idea of the Engineer (because elected by the people) setting at defiance the authority of the Council and laughing at the members of that body with im punity, is too ridiculous and absurd to need any comments whatever. ' . The article in the Netce was evidently written by a disappointed aspirant for the office, whose reputation, both in engineering and politics, is such that it would damn any party with which he was connected. Tha present Engineer is an old citizen, well known as a man of ability and judg ment and uncompromising integrity, and is;pqt Ukj!y to be damaged by such vile assertions. Bulo. A REMARKABLE STRANGER.

Sir, contrasted with a nirenmstance which occurred in my own experience, it instantly becomes commonplace : no, not that for will not sneak so discourteously ot any experience in the career of stranger and a gentleman but 1 am obliged to sav-that you could not, aud you would not ever again refer to this tree as a large one, if you could behold, as I have, the great Yakmatack tree, in the island of Ounaska, sea of Kamtchatka a tree, sir, not one inch less than four hundred and fifteen feet in solid diameter! and I wish I may die in a minute if it isn't so I Oh, you needn't look so questioning, gen tlemen : here s old Cap. baltmarsh can say whether I know what I'm talking about or not.

John James Uodtrey was the son of poor bnt honest parents in the State of Mississippi boyhood friend of mine bosom comrade in later years. Heaven rest his noble spirit! he is gone from us now. John James Uodfrey was hired by the Hayblossom Mining Company in Cal ifornia to do some blasting lor tnem- the ' Incorporated Company of Mean Men,' the boys used to call it. Well; one day he drilled a hole about four feet deep and put in an awful blast of powder, and was stanaing over it ramming it uown with an iron crowbar about nine feet . . . . . , long, when the cussed thing struck 1 soars: and Urea the powder, ana scat away John Godfrey whizzed liked a sky rocket and his crowbar! Well, sir, be kept going up in the air higher and higher, till he didn't I00K any bigger than a boy and be kept going on np higher and higher, till he didn't look any bigerer than a doll and he kept going on up higher and higher, tui ne aiun 1 loox any bigger than a licue, smau pee and then he went ont ot sight! rresentiy he came in sight again, looking like little small bee and he came along down further and further, till he looked as big as a doll again and down further and further, till he was as big as a boy again and further and further, tulhe was a lull- sized man once more; and him and his crowbar came a whizzing down and lit ricrht exactly in the name old tracks, and went to r-ramming down, and r-ramming down, and r-ramming down again, lust the same as 11 nothing naa nappeneai Now don't you know that that poor cuss warn't gone only sixteen minutes, and yet that Incorporated Company of Mean Men docked him !' v: lost time; I said I had the headache, and so ex cused myself and went homo. And on mv diarv I entered ''another night spoil ed'' by this offensive loafer. And a fervent curse was set down with it to keep the item company. And the very nex day I packed up, out of all patience, and left the islands. Almost from the very beginning, I re garded that man as a liar. The line of stars represeents an interval of years. At the end of which time the opinion hazarded in the last sentence came to be gratfyingly and remarkably indorsed, and by wholly disinterested persons. The man Markiss was found one morning hanging to a beam of his own bedroom (the doors and window securely fastened on the Inside), dead, and on his breast was pinned a paper in his own handwriting, begging his mends to snsoectno innocent person of having any thing to do with his death, tor that it was . a.. . a l -v- the work 01 ills own nanus entirely. ii the jury brought in the astounding verdict that deceased came to his death " bv the hands of some person or per sons unknown !" They explained that the perfectly nude via ting consistency of Markiss's character for thirty years towered aloft as colossal and indestructible testimony, that whatever statement he choose to make was entitled to instant and nnanestioning acceptance as a lie, And they furthermore stated their belief that he was not dead, and instanced the strong circumstantial e ridence of his own word that he was dead and be-seeched the coroner to delay the funeral as long as possible, which was done. And so in the tropical climate of La- haina the coffin stood open lor several davs. and then even the loyal iury gave him np. But they sat on him again, and changed their verdict to "suicide induced by mental aberration" because, said they, with penetration, " he said he was dead, and he vat dead, and would he nave told the truth if he had been in hiB right mind t Xo, sir." Fifteen young ladies took the vail in St. Louis last week. Of the ceremony an account says: "The fifteen novices, who desired to assume the habit, appeared before the altar dressed in white, each wearing a wreath of orange blossoms, from which descended delicate lines of stems and leaves. Their appearance was exceedingly interesting.. In the placid fair young faces there was hardly a trace to be detected of girlish embarrassment at being subjected to the gaze of the audience. The religious sacredness of the occasion to them doubtiess almost absorbed every other thought.". DIED. ' SHERMATT On March 7th, 1871, Wiliiam Levi, son of S. M. and L. A. Sherman, aged three years.
